The kids enjoyed cleaning out a pumpkin and carving a face. We dressed up with the cousins and went uptown for a little while Friday too. Eli loves to dress up so he had fun, despite not being able to eat the treats. Kiley quickly got the hang to it and loved the bucket of junk she got.

I have totally been enjoying this weather lately, Friday was a little chilly but other than that it has been amazing!! We spent last Sunday afternoon at Grandma and Papa's. The kids still both love Pee Wee, but he is getting bigger now and not necessarily enjoying them as much. Kiley still manages to pick him up but now it takes a little effort and is usually followed by, "Whoa, heavy."

Today Eli says, "Mom one thing here is that you do not have to worry about options, the store that we went to, Papa said that it is the only grocery store here so I guess that everyone just has to choose it. So, yeah I guess that makes it easier."

We made a quick pumpkin patch run this weekend trying to enjoy the nice weather. It ended up getting rainy and chilly but we still had fun.

Kiley with her I don't approve exactly with what was said look...

Eli's quote of the night, "Mom this PJ shirt is a little tight, I mean it is almost thick rubber band tightness."

My kiddos have really been into dress up lately so here are few fun photos...

Well we are in our temporary house that we affectionately refer to as 'the green house' and the move in went amazingly well thanks to my parents, my brother and his in laws - they were the best helping at the last minute and getting everything in for us - Thank You So Much!

The last few weeks have been busy but things are finally slowing down a little. Our last few days in NE were full of sad goodbyes, runs to places that I will not have immediate access to, and packing. The kids are adjusting great and the house is really pretty much in order we just have to go through the garage and the extra stuff that we are storing at my parents.

I am enjoying the simple things in life...
We took a walk with the stroller and were able to go uptown and get a gift, make a trip to the library, play at the park, and stop to see cousins and I did not feel like I had run a marathon afterward.
We spent a good 1/2 hour at the library and besides about 5 min we had the children's part completely to ourselves which my children loved.
I went to the grocery store (the only one in town:) and in the pouring rain had someone take my groceries to my car and unload them so that I did not have to take the cart back inside?!

I do feel truly blessed and know that God's plans are not always our plans but they are always best!
